SCSN Caravan 09 eNewsNo. 29 - 6/5/09>>>TOP STORY<<< >>GOODYEAR TIRE RAFFLE PROGRAM CONCLUDES<< Back in June of last year, Goodyear joined the group of SoCal/SoNev Caravan Section Sponsors. The last great American tire company, Goodyear, has been supporter of the Corvette hobby since the late 1970s and was a sponsor of the SoCal Caravan in 2003. For the '09 event, Goodyear's support was the donation of half-a-dozen sets of tires which we could "raffle" with proceeds going to the SoCal/SoNev Organizing Team to use on Caravan Section operating expenses. Each raffle winner had the opportunity to buy a set of four Goodyears to fit a Corvette or any other car or light truck for $750.00. We ran six of these and the Goodyear Tire Raffle Program's final winners were Rick and Lynn Miller who own a virtual fleet of Convertibles...'73, '88, '00 and '06 and went on the 1999 Caravan. The Millers belong to Corvette Super Sports and live in the O.C. Congratulations to Rick and Lynn, our final Goodyear Raffle winners. The other raffle winners were: The SoCal/SoNev Caravan Organizing Team thanks all the Caravaners who entered our Goodyear Raffles. >>SoCal/SoNev REGISTRATIONS STILL GROWING<< Sherry Maples, the SoCal/SoNev Organizing Team's "numbers expert" tells the eNews that, as of 27 May has reached 220 cars and 400 Caravaners. Caravan Section Captain, Hib Halverson's original goal for the 2009 Caravan was 250 cars leaving Fontana on 29 August. >>LATEST ON THE AFTER-THE-CARAVAN CARAVAN<< "Commander" Ron Cohen, our hotel booking specialist, is a member of Red Line Corvettes and is organizing a caravan for the return trip from Bowling Green. This week he released the itinerary for the Red Line Corvettes, "After-the-Caravan Caravan" which is open to all SoCal Caravaners. Ron tells the eNews, "So far we have about 20 cars going on the trip. I anyone else wants to sign-up, please contact me by email at gorillatravel@aol.com. There is still time to sign up." AtCC itinerary: Sunday morning September 6 depart BG & Nashville Best regards, Caravan info: email to captain.socalcar@charter.net Going on the Caravan? Even new cars with less than 1,000 miles have paint blemishes from normal driving. Imagine what a cross-country trip will do to YOUR paint. The solution? A "Clear Bra". It functions like a traditional auto bra but is far more durable and cannot be seen. It will NOT scratch your Corvette's finish like most "strap-on" auto bras. This 3M Paint and Headlight Protection lasts for the life of your Vette. SCSN Capt. Hib Halverson used a 3M Clear Bra on the 2003 National Corvette Caravan and endorses it as the best way to avoid damage to the front of your car. Professional installations by the 3M factory-trained Installer in California most experienced with Corvettes: Envisage Design Labs.
